Got heartache? Olivia Rodrigo might just have the cure. Ahead of new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, the pop star will take over iHeartRadio and host her very own dating advice show, answering questions live on the air about all things romance.
The company announced the news on Tuesday (June 9), revealing that the hour-long program will be called “u+me=advice forever,” a nod to one of the titles on You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. It’ll air on digital station Hit Nation at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday (June 11), just one day before the new LP drops.
In addition to advising on fan-submitted relationship queries — which listeners can send in ahead of time via iHeartRadio’s talkback feature — Rodrigo will exclusively preview unheard songs from her third full-length.
Arriving after Billboard 200-topping LPs Sour and Guts, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love features a total of 13 songs. So far, fans have properly heard only lead single “Drop Dead” — which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — and “The Cure,” as well as a Saturday Night Live performance of “Begged” and a surprise live debut of “What’s Wrong With Me?” alongside Robert Smith at Primavera Sound on Sunday (June 7).
In other radio-related Rodrigo news, the Grammy winner also appeared recently on BBC Radio 1 and revealed to host Greg James that “Stupid Song” from her new album is getting a music video. She also talked about how she prefers to apply her own life to the lyrics of other artists’ love songs, as opposed to wondering about the songwriter’s own personal life while listening.
“I love transposing it into my own life,” she said. “Obviously, if the song is more meaningful to someone if they project my life into it, then I’ll be it, that’s totally fine.”
